Art - what's the point?
Hello!
We’re thinking about updating the ‘show work’ page (below) and as we were discussing this page today we asked ourselves a couple of interesting questions.
- Why do we create art?
- Why do we like to look at art?
They’re such fundamental questions that I think we often overlook them. Here were some of our thoughts:
Why do we look at art?
- For a sense of beauty

Perspective ... in the midst of fear
Hello!
It’s been a wild couple of weeks on the global financial markets – and here in San Francisco there’s a palpable sense of fear … bordering on panic. It’s easy to get swept up in all of this … and I don’t want to downplay the hardship that many of us are already facing but I spent the weekend getting some perspective. I went for a walk through a magnificent Redwood forest just nor…
Release notes - Bulk Deleteting BubbleMail and a Preview of the RedBubble Private Site
Hello! Another week another RedBubble release.
This week there’s a couple of new things – the ability to bulk delete BubbleMail and a sneak preview of a the RedBubble ‘private site’. The private site is designed to allow you to create a site showcasing just your work.

On the role of comments ...

The Thought Bubble
The Thought Bubble is our meeting room – it’s the garage in our office. We’ve made it up to look a little more creative and enticing than a normal garage. But how times have changed. We’re in the middle of developing all the products we recently outlined in the roadmap and there’s stuff everywhere…

Which works are being published?
It’s the answer we’ve all been waiting for. I’m thrilled to be able to announce all the works that have been included in limited edition journal, In The Moment. With such an outstanding level of entries, it was tough work for our judges. Each published artist and writer will receive a copy…

It will officially go on sale at 12 noon..
The year ahead ...
We spent most of January catching our breath and thinking about the year ahead. We’re not entirely done with out thinking – because the devil’s always in the details. But there are a few outcomes I’d like to share.
We think we need to communicate ‘more betterer’. We’re often so busy ‘doing’ that we forget to tell you what’s going on and why we’re doing particular things. So we’ll try to …
